For the Batter

  • 3/4 cup brown sugar Can be substituted for additional granulated sugar if necessary.

Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. Beat the softened unsalted butter with both sugars until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and pink food coloring to the creamed mixture and beat until combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir gently until combined.
  6. Scoop mounds of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each mound.
  7. Bake for approximately 10 minutes, until the edges are set and centers remain soft.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks.
